Corporate law and company formation
Formation, reorganisation and governance of companies in Brazil, with structures designed for those operating in more than one country.
The form of a company determines what it may do, how much tax it pays and how it answers for its obligations. Before incorporating, we help the client choose the form and structure suited to the business and its plan, including where partners or controllers are abroad.
We draft articles of association and by-laws, shareholders' agreements, minutes and amendments, and handle filings with commercial registries and other bodies. We also advise on reorganisations, entry and exit of partners, capital increases and dissolutions.
For foreign investors, we handle registration of capital with the Central Bank, appointment of representatives and alignment of the structure with the regulatory requirements of the sector in which the company will operate.
How we work
- An initial meeting to understand the business before any draft.
- Documents written in clear language, with clauses the client understands and can apply.
- Filings followed through to completion.
